Easter Sunday Acts of the Apostles 10:34a, 37-43
Reading II: Colossians 3:1-4 Gospel: John 20:1-9
Welcome to Ascension Parish!
We Invite You to Read Next Sunday’s Readings: April 8, 2018
Reading I: Acts of the Apostles 4:32-35 Reading II: 1 John 5:1-6
Gospel: John 20:19-31
CREATING A CULTURE OF CALLING
Happy Easter! Jesus is risen! Halleluiah!
And now what? What is this risen Lord’s purpose for your life? To what
is He calling you? One of the most amazing, beautiful, fantastic things
about Easter is that the risen Lord wants a relationship with you. He is
continually calling us to a life in Him, in His Church, in His world; He’s
inviting you to discover his calling for you in your world.
And what is that world of yours look like? Are you widowed? Are you
a student? A parent? Friend? Employee? Neighbor? To what is he calling
you as a mother, father, brother, sister? How about as an Oregonian?
Although some of our callings will be lifelong, they will always be
growing and changing as we do. Other callings will be for a season. Some
callings will come as a surprise. Some callings won’t be revealed until our
senior years. But each of us is uniquely and wonderfully made. We are
uniquely called to carry the light of the Resurrection to the world in which
we live and to the people in our lives.
For the next fifty days, as we read the Acts of the Apostles, we will hear
about how the Holy Spirit moved and led the first carriers of the
light. Jesus spent time with the disciples before he sent them out and he
wants to spend time with us. If we are truly to understand our calling, it
will come from spending time with Him and learning to hear his voice of
love and affirmation and invitation.
Blessed Easter to you all! I look forward to journeying with you, as we
gather to be with and listen to the Risen Lord.
In Christ,
Fr. Jaspers

ESCUCHANDO EL LLAMADO
QUE NUESTRO SEÑOR TIENE
PARA CADA UNO DE NOSOTROS
¡Resucito! ¡Aleluya!
¡Feliz Domingo de Pascua para todos!
¿Y ahora qué? ¿Cuál es el propósito que este Cristo
resucitado tiene para ti? ¿Qué es lo que Él te está
invitando a hacer? Una de las cosas más
maravillosas, hermosas y fantásticas de la Pascua es
que el Cristo resucitado desea tener una relación
íntima con cada uno de nosotros. Él está
continuamente llamándonos a vivir en Él, en Su
Iglesia, en Su mundo; Él te está invitando a descubrir
cuál es el llamado que tiene Él para ti en tu mundo.
Y, ¿cómo es tu mundo? ¿Eres viudo o viuda?
¿Eres un estudiante? ¿Un padre o madre de familia?
¿Un amigo? ¿Un empleado? ¿Un vecino? ¿Qué es lo
que te está llamando hacer en tu rol de mama, de
papá, de hermano, de hermana? ¿Que tal como
residente de esta ciudad? ¿De este país?
A pesar de que algunos de nuestros llamados son
por el resto de nuestras vidas, estos siempre se
mantendrán cambiando y creciendo con nosotros.
Otros llamados llegaran de sorpresa. Algunos
llamados no se nos verán revelados hasta llegar a ser
personas de la tercera edad. Pero cada uno de
nosotros somos únicos y estamos maravillosamente
hechos. Hemos sido llamados particularmente a
llevar la luz de la Resurrección al mundo en el que
vivimos y con todas las personas en nuestras vidas.
Por los siguientes cincuenta días, al leer los Actos
de los Apóstoles, escucharemos como es que el
Espíritu Santo movió y guio a los primeros portadores
de la luz. Jesús pasó tiempo con sus discípulos antes
enviarlos a proclamar su palabra, y Él quiere pasar
tiempo con nosotros. Si realmente queremos entender
su llamado, este vendrá al pasar tiempo con Él, y
aprender a escuchar su voz que te invita, que está
llena de amor y afirmación.
¡Que Dios los bendiga esta Pascua! Estoy feliz de
comenzar este viaje con ustedes, al reunirnos para
escuchar a nuestro Señor resucitado.
En Cristo,
Padre Jaspers
